1. Smile.
A smile goes a long way and is proven to be infectious. Best of all, a smile is free. The best leaders always project a positive mood and know that it's impossible to inspire action if you're a miserable person to be around.

2. Sell.
A good leader should be able to sell their team on company vision. It is imperative that employees or team members believe in the principles of a business and want to work towards achieving the ultimate goals.

3. Reflect.
Reflection is important as it allows someone to think about what they have learned and how they could potentially have dealt with any obstacles differently.

4. Have casual conversations.
All conversations shouldn't be strictly business, the best leaders get to know people on a personal level too. They make an emotional connection and come across as a human being rather than a boss.

5. Ask questions.
To be an effective leader, it's important to ask thoughtful and engaging questions and then listen. Listen to hear not only the words that are spoken but the emotion behind them.

6. Use constructive feedback.
Nobody knows everything, there is always room for improvement and the best way to improve is to learn about what you could do better. The best leaders are open to honest, constructive feedback about their leadership.

7. Keep learning
The best avenue to continue learning is by reading. Whether it be the latest business best seller or the variety of great blogs out there, leaders should constantly be in search of knowledge.

8. Inspire.
The best leaders are able to inspire others to become better and to assist them along the way by constantly reminding others of their unique contributions and abilities.

9. Focus.
With many different goals to accomplish it can be easy to lose focus. The most effective thing a leader can do is learn to say no and focus on what really matters and the best leaders do this by continually reminding themselves of these each day.

10. Don't fall victim to indecision.
The most effective leaders recognise that it's not feasible to get all the facts for the dozens of decisions they have to make on a daily basis, but instead they focus on gathering just enough information to be able to make sound decisions. While ultimately some of those decisions will be wrong, it is better to learn from those mistakes and try again than to be paralysed by indecision.

11. Network.
There's a saying, "we are who we surround ourselves with." The most successful people have a network of other successful individuals. Great leaders are influenced by the best traits other people have to offer. Leaders who spend time with others, perhaps from a different demographic, have the opportunity to learn from people with different values and beliefs.

12. Listen.
The best leaders recognise the importance of listening. In order to lead most effectively, they must listen to their team members and then appropriately respond with action. By doing so they are able to gain the trust and loyalty of those they lead.
